Answer 1

Based on the description of the diagram, where it indicates a direct distance of 5 miles from the house to the farmer's market, and given that you must stop at the bank before heading to the farmer’s market, we can infer that the distance from the house to the bank plus the distance from the bank to the farmer’s market must add up to something greater than 5 miles.

Therefore, the correct statement would be:

The distance from your house to the bank and then the farmer’s market is greater than 5 miles.
